Answer:

a) Mid ocean ridges

Explanation:

  • The mid-oceanic ridges underling the hot asthenosphere which creates a depression that causes the melting of the peridotites at shallow depths. As they rise that results in mafic magma and this only takes place at divergent boundaries.
  • Here the plates sperate and move away, causing magma below to rise and ill spaces of low pressure. The rocks then cool and new crust is firmed. The mafic rocks crystallize at higher temperatures and pressure.

Contour lines that are close together indicate a slope than lines that have more separation between them.
sasho [114]

The statement is correct.

The contour lines are a very good indicator of the relief. The closer they are to one another, the steeper the relief, and vice verse, the more distant they are from one another, the flatter the relief is.

In general, contour lines that are very close to each other can be noticed on the mountains, as most of the mountains have steep parts, or rather steeper slopes.

The more distant contour lines, on the other hand, can be found on places like the valleys or the plateaus, places that in general are much flatter.

How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in the past?
slega [8]
We know that the poles had changed positions in the past, because of the arrangement of the crystals in the rocks made out of metal. The crystals of the metals act like the needle of the compass when the rock is cooling off and forming, they turn into the direction of the strongest magnetic field on the Earth, which is the North Pole. So by studying the rocks that are made out of metals and see the crystals arrangement and also estimate the age of the rocks, the scientist can precisely tell how has the North Pole been moving throughout time.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The cultural landscape of Dar es Salaam is a composite of several different culture groups which have administered the place. British policy stimulated the development of a district of 3 to 4 storey apartments reminiscent of Bombay.

Explanation:

Dar es Salaam is a city in Tanzania, it is very populous and has been inhabited by several different cultural groups. Its name means "House of Peace" and jpa became the capital of Tanzania. The different peoples who lived in that city generated a strong cultural diversity and an even greater population. This caused British policy (which dominated this place for a while) to create a project that enabled the development of apartments with 3 to 4 floors. This changed the visual identity of the region and made it look like Bombay.
